Hope they get something, but I'm not sure how far this'll go. I mean, government agencies can't lock someone up or "stop" them from committing a crime unless they're caught in the act of said crime or there's a bunch of evidence. Once they gathered the evidence, this man was arrested and went to trial. That's just how the system works.

as they should

too bad they won't get anything

Didn't Judge Reva Goetz say the Feds have endless resources?

The FBI just settled $127 million to the families of Parkland for failing to act on tips that the shooter had violence issues.  That parallels closely to what happened here.  The FBI was given tips nearly two years before something finally happened to Nassar and outside of dozens of testimonies from minors detailing their sexual assault, I'm not sure what other "evidence" is needed before some action is taken.  The FBI failed miserably here.

Thanks for this. I didn't feel like looking for receipts.
